Bucks County Child Pornographer's Home Sold For Charity

A convicted child pornographer’s home has been sold by Bucks County and all proceeds will directly benefit the victim of the convict and a child’s advocacy center, according to the Bucks County District Attorney’s office.

Thomas Holliday, 82, of Yardley, forfeited his home to the county in January after being convicted of sex crimes, according to a report by The Intelligencer:

Judge Albert Cepparulo said Holliday made the girl his “sexual slave,” and that over a four-year period, Holliday had collected 71 compact discs on which were stored videos and still photos of himself and the girl.

According to Weintraub, the county plans to divide the proceeds as follows: $50,000 will be put in trust for the crime victim, $25,000 will be put in trust for Holliday’s child with medical issues and $233,056 (minus taxes and fees) will be delivered to the Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA) to support the Bucks County Children’s Advocacy Center, which helps victims of sexual abuse.

“We wanted to make something positive out of a horrific negative,” said Weintraub.

A new statute that went into effect in October gives the state the power to seize the property of those convicted of sexual assault, according to the report.
